    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for accessing, in reading, programming and/or erasing, to a semiconductor integrated non volatile memory device of the Flash EEPROM type with a NAND architecture comprising at least one memory matrix (2) organised in rows or word lines (WL) and columns or bit lines (BL), and wherein, for the memory, a plurality of additional address pins are provided. Advantageously, the method provides both an access protocol of the asynchronous type and a protocol of the extended type allowing to address, directly and in parallel, a memory extended portion by loading an address register associated with said additional pins in two successive clock pulses.
    A third multi-sequential access mode and a parallel additional bus referring to said additional address pins are also provided to allow a double addressing mode, sequential and in parallel.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for programming a non-volatile memory device of the multi-level type, comprising a plurality of transistor cells grouped into memory words and conventionally provided with gate and drain terminals. The method applies different drain voltage values at different threshold values. Such values are directly proportional to the threshold levels to be attained by the individual memory word bits, and effective to provide for a simultaneous attainment of the levels, in a seeking-to manner, of the levels at the end of a limited number of pulses.
    Advantageously, a constant gate voltage value is concurrently applied to the gate terminals of said cells, such that the cell programming time is unrelated to the threshold level sought.
